A writer in the Charlotte Observer of January 11, tells the following funny story of two passengerR on a train out of Baltimore: , ^ "W. C. Crist, a personal and business friend of mine in Winston-Salem, tells a story of unusual Interest in connection with the reported transportation of booze from a certain northern city. Crist palms the story off on a rail jroad "Official who is unknown . to me, and for fear of Betting in Dutch by hanging it on to him I am using only * the name of my acquaintance. , ' "The story runs that a certain man was enroute from .Hal? , I mean a city north of Washington, and in~his grip lay eight quarts of "cobwebb." At Lynch burg there appeared in the coach \n\ -officer of .the law clad, in plain clothes. Down tho ear he eame, looking into thr faces of passengers and at suitcases and grips. "Arriving -at our friend ho stopped, picked up his grip sat it down again and said; "Your grip?" to which the Winston-Salem man replied in the neg<?> tive. Then inquiry was made as to the possible owner, to which reply was also given that Tie was unknown, _ "Booze in it. I shall take it" said the officer and take it he did. ? On the cross seat at the end of the car sat another man, terribly nervous through this proceeding. He was no ticed by the man who had just lost his grip, and straightway the latter went into the car to the rear. Arriving at Greensboro he entered the car in which the nervous one was a passenger and stopping in front of him he asked: "Your grip?" "No," was the hasty reply. "Know whose it is?" _ ? "Have no idea. Man was sitting hero awhile ago and probably went into the other car." "Booze in it. I shall take it," remarked the man who had lost his at Lynchburg, and picking up the grip he left the train. Kn route to WJnston - Salem from Greensboro he opened the grip and found nine quarts of "cobwebj" so that ho was ojxc quart ahead of the gam?, even though the Ljrnchburg officer had confiscated his entire load. > la Memory of Mrs. Caroline Thorn.
